Norwich did well to get a drwa against Rotherham considering Lewis Grabban was sent-off after 25 odd minutes for shoving/punching a Rotherham player.
Yes, we went in front, but Rotherham were all over us for the last ten minutes or so and they needed a result too. Good day for them in the end as Millwall let slip a 2 goal lead against Derby.
Looks like the play-ffs for us. I think Bournemouth will get a least a draw against Bolton on Monday night and that will mean the play-offs for us. Bolton are poor away and have nothing to play for.
We;ve only ever been in the play-offs once before (in 2001/02 when we lost in the final on a penalty shoot-out against Birmingham).
Even if we do still ahve a chance of automatic promotion on the final day, I think we will struggle to win. Most people think Fulham at home will be a relatively easy final game for us. However, Fulham hold very bad memories for Norwich. We were slaughtered by them on the final day fo the season when getting relegated from the Premier League in 2002/03 and we have a thoroughly poor record against them in general.
It's clearly the play-offs for Norwich if Bournemouth win on Monday.
But if they just draw, although they will have a much better GD they will then only be one point ahead of Middlesbrough and two points ahead of Norwich. So all 3 would still have a chance of finishing second ( and still in with a chance of first in Bournemouth's case if Watford lose ).
The title will still be up for grabs, as well as at least one play-off spot. Possibly even the relegation battle will go to the final day, though personally I think Rotherham will win their game in hand and put the matter to bed before then.

The play-offs should be very exciting. Fully expecting it to stay the way it is now. So Ipswich vs Norwich and Middlesbrough vs Derby.
A Derby and Steve Mcclaren returning to his former club. All teams will be fighting for that promotion place, no free ride in those spots this year.
I'd predict a Middlesbrough Norwich final but who knows what might happen
Yeah that would be my initial prediction. Two solid teams too that I would see putting up a real battle in the PL
Sky probably will be a bit disappointed that the race for automatic promotion might be over before the final day now.
I reckon bournemouth will win by 3 or more. Bolton have a lot of injuries and bournemouth are back on a good run. Def worth a watch tonight.
Bournemouth are heading into the Premier League.
Would you believe it.
Bournemouth on the brink of glory!
All over bar the shouting.
Oh, maybe not!
Kermorgant blasts the penalty over the crossbar!
What a terrific piece of close control from Callum Wilson to clinch Bournemouth's top flight place for 2015/16.
